An Original Vintage Movie Trade Ad (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More)

The Courtship of Andy Hardy, the 1942 George B. Seitz romantic "Andy Hardy family" comedy ("New joy in 1942's first Hardy hit!"; one of the series of "Hardy Family" movies about Andy Hardy, his judge father, and the rest of his family; note that, in the first entries of this series, the judge father and his wife were the center of the movies, and the children had secondary roles, but Mickey Rooney's character quickly became extremely popular, and became the focus of the series) starring Lewis Stone (as Judge Hardy), Mickey Rooney (in the title role as Andy Hardy), Cecilia Parker, Fay Holden, Ann Rutherford, Sara Haden, and Donna Reed (in her fourth credited role!). Note that Donna Reed received 7th billing (and smaller than the main stars) because she was so new to movies, but she actually played the romantic lead, the shy daughter of a divorcing couple, who Andy tries to help come out of her shell by romancing her!

Artist: Jacques Kapralik
Important Added Info: From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was printed individually. It can be framed and displayed (but many trade ads have different images on each side, so one must choose which side to display if it is framed!).

Condition: very good to fine. There is a pinhole in each top corner. Otherwise, the trade ad is in nice condition!
